Iranians condemn regime’s recent attack on Kurdish dissidents

Iraq, Sept. 11, 2018 - The recent missile barrage launched by the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) against Kurdistan democratic parties based in Iraq and the execution of three Kurdish political prisoners has resulted in a wave of hatred and abhorrence. Many Iranians are writing letters to the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanding an investigation by the Security Council into these crimes.

Stores owners in the city of Marivan wrote a letter calling on UNSG Antonio Guterres condemning the criminal execution of three Kurdish prisoners who opposed the fascist regime ruling Iran, and also the missile attack launched on Iraq-based Kurdish groups opposing the Iranian regime as a war crime. They called on the UN Secretary-General to take action in this regard and refer to the Iranian regime’s human rights dossier to the UN Security Council, and issue a statement condemning this atrocious measures.

A group of youths and store owners in Arak, western Iran, wrote in their letter to the UN Secretary-General, saying the Iranian regime hanged three young Iranian Kurds (Ramin Hossein Panahi, Loghman and Zaniar Moradi), bringing grief to their old mothers. Tehran also viciously attacked the Kurdistan Democratic Party base in Iraq, leaving more than 15 people dead and more than 40 others injured. The signatories of this letter called on the UN chief to condemn the ongoing crimes against humanity in the respected Security Council and take measures to prevent such events in the future.

A group of supporters of the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Isfahan, central Iran, sent a letter to UN Secretary-General saying the IRGC issued a statement claiming responsibility for this treasonous measures and published footage of the missile barrage in a sign of their saber rattling. This is a document in itself of the Iranian regime violating Iraqi sovereignty.

In the past, the inhumane mullahs’ regime had taken similar measures against the PMOI/MEK. The signatories of this letter called on the UN Security Council to see into this crime by holding a session and taking the necessary action to confront such measures by the mullahs’ dictatorship.

A U.S. investigation delegation visiting Iraqi Kurdistan said the details provided by the IRGC regarding the launching site are lies and this rocket attack took place 20 to 40 kilometers from the Kurdistan Democratic Party site, according to the Bas News website in Iraqi Kurdistan.

For this attack the IRGC used missile launchers established in Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq, the report adds. Furthermore, the U.S. team said even the drone used in this attack began its flight near Kirkuk Province and was guided from there, Bas News added.
